Rotating the chessboard 180°

 

When the player has white and ChessPartner plays black, the players expected view is that white plays from bottom to top. In case the player wishes to play black however, this view is not handy and therefore it is desirable to turn the chessboard.

 

Choosing Rotate from the Edit menu will turn the chessboard. The menu selection will be marked to indicate that black’s view is set. Choosing the menu item again will restore white's point of view.

 

When you are to setup a position on the board and the rotated view was active, the board is rotated back before starting setup. This to ensure the same point of view for each setup. When returning to the game mode, the previous state of rotation is restored.
